West, Kanye - Don't Look Down Lyrics

Big sean killed it

Real Ye fans know eactly what scene in the runaway film this is describing

Underrated

Kanye got washed on this one

The end, question mark

Um...Mos Def and Lupe on the same song? If you don’t appreciate that u ain’t hip hop

Big sean killed it

Lupe’s verse was beautiful. That’s honestly the best verse I’ve heard from Sean. Gotta give credit where it’s due

It would change the world

This is where the Aerial in my name comes from

If Kanye only realized all he had to do was give us music we liked, he’d still be the best 🤷🏽‍♂️

You're the minority man most kanye fans liked ye and tlop and yeezus and ksg

Frogman 4 ksg? And ur right to an extent opinions are subjective

The thing with Kanye is that he doesn’t worry about being the best no more. He know if he dropped all the songs he locked in his bank he may possibly top MBDTF but he’s satisfied with where he’s at and now he dropping music that he wants

I’m only here because the joy can’t be found online. “That beat deserves Hennessy, a bad bitch and a bag of weed the holy trinity” Best song on Good Friday.

Don’t look down. It’s an impossible view.

lupe an most def set theme, then the other two jump in n rap about some unrelated bullshit

Sean went off. Def top 20 Yeezy.

Still 🔥

One of the best break up songs

Lupe’s verse “Black Widow’s death scene in Endgame”

Neg bro hes talking bout Jean grey

Love Lupe. Sean killed this

Still here

Powerful music right here. Amazing verses from everyone..... But can we talk LUPE FIASCO!!! his verse brang me straight back to good fucking times, this was a good time for hip hop when kanye was bringing all this talent together and handing these gems to us

Capital P they ain’t listening, straight up poetry in his verse.

Just here to give that mill 💯😎

Big sean bodied

#StayAwake. Lupe announced this song would be on Kanye’s “Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” The year I heard the song I was like this is a great song but Lupe killed Kanye’s verse like Eminem did Jay-Z on “Renegades” Oh behold the song magically disappears from the album track list and is never posted on Kanye’s official YouTube vevo...

I think kanye had the best verse.

Why was big Sean allowed to be on these tracks, the lyrical gap between him and everyone else is hilarious

Kaleb Ward he had the best verse what the hell are you going on about?! Did you listen?

Romy Taylor is talking when these were first dropped, like he looked so out of place with names

Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Fly like an eagle, whatever you do
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Spread your wings, aerial

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]
Head's in the sky, wings raised and
She's about to fly, and take her place in
Out there in the stars, when she leaves the ground
She'll see a broken heart, if she turns around
But ain't no going back, this is how it must be
He told her she'll be burned alive, she just told him, "Trust me"
If funerals are beautiful, this ugly
Knowing this, he told her, "You won't leave me if you love me"
And he knows that, because he knows her
Hard to hide his feelings, as it engulfs her
Now she's a bright blaze, light rays
A shooting out, a phoenix on fire burning up the nightscape
So let's hear it for our heroine
Applaud as her spirit just flies into the never-end
One closed chapter, it opens up another part
So this is more like, "The end, question mark"

[Hook: Mos Def]
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Fly like an eagle, whatever you do
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Spread your wings, aerial


[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Don't let me hold you back, I only hold you back
We're on a dead-end street, this block has got a cul-de-sac
So fly baby, my baby so high
Sometimes it's so hard to say bye
We made it from the alley, straight up to the valley
We pulled up at the valet, we'll teach our daughter ballet
We'll raise us a Beyonce, maybe she'll be a Halle
You woulda been the best mom, I woulda been the best 'Ye
You see it all in my veins, like varicose
I know that's very gross, but we getting very close
To our end, though I kill most with a pen
Soon as this flow end, I'ma let Mos begin

[Hook: Mos Def & Kanye West]
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Fly like an eagle, whatever you do
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Spread your wings, aerial

[Hook: Kanye West & Big Sean]
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Fly like an eagle, whatever you do
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Spread your wings, aerial
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Spread your wings, aerial
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
How could you do it? How could you do it?


[Verse 3: Big Sean]
Okay now baby here we go, we go, no baby, me go
You got my heart, baby this what it beat for
I give it all, walk as far as my feet go
What you mean "me go?" Why can't it be "we go"?
What happens when people turn to tears? (huh?)
Dreams turn to memories and weeks turn to years, huh?
Been standing in the same spot for a couple of weeks
Give me my feelings back, wish love came with a couple receipts
Man, our vacation was coming next week
Girl, I swear you was a trip, let's make it a couples' retreat
(Do it!) How could my girl do this to me?
Woke up to a note saying "The world did this to me"
Now I'm testing, one-two, reporting live from the rubble
Drinking all I can so I can turn to fire when I hug you
One, two, three, four, five models on the double
Give me head all at once, look like they lying in a huddle
But it's not even half the feeling
As hearing your "Seans, you know I love you"
Shedding tears everyday (I know you do)
And I'm tired of lying in these puddles
I ask "Why?" sometimes like a fucking vowel
Been hitting trees everyday like a fucking owl
Trying to get high enough to cut the clouds
Of the Phoenix Sun and Nash it out
I mean ash it out so I could see you smile
I-I know you can see me now

[Hook: Mos Def]
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Fly like an eagle, whatever you do
Don't look down, it's an impossible view
Spread your wings, aerial

This is horrible.. mis def and Lupe selling out hard

Lupe you suck on this horribleness

Crazy how this song and Christian Denom Flow wasn't on MBDTF

Big Sean verse mannn

Freshmen year vibes b4 everybody got influenced by Gbe 300 OTF

Mf was in 8th grade I felt like if you were up on this you were ahead of your time...

UNDERRATED. Nobody knows about this

It's been YEARS since I've heard this song... I'm glad it randomly popped in my head just now.

Astughfirullah for this cover art

still here May 26th 2018

I miss this kanye

G.O.O.D Friday!

J Cole would of bodied this

Damnnnn 2018 !!! Been a jammin to this for 8 years! Still mad no Mos verse, bigsean killed it though

🔥🔥🔥

I was in 7th grade when this came out, where has the time gone

Shem Guy I swear same just sitting here thinking that

Me too fam

I was 17

2017 still not looking down

Fuck, I forgot all about this song! Weeks really did turn into years.

What if ye left would have left with mos def

Ye is a great music maker and producer, but he not a great rapper. Lupe is a lyrical master mind and mos def is... Mos def

That Vocoder...

Yasiin!

THE LYRICS ARE EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AT THE END OF THE RUNAWAY FILM !!!!
it should've been there ..

Classic

I need to know what album this is from. Can someone please tell me

From Good Fridays, Google it

Yea no album, these were throw aways lol.

i was a junior in high school when this came out and i was also in love, this song gave me a reason to go to school in the am

Sean washed everyone on this shit. And Lupe is on it sooooo......

Delano Walker na lupe always come with the depth

faded alexthegreat i dont disagree at all but on this song the win goes to Sean. Overall skill level still goes to Lupe tho

Lupe brought in a great intro, painting a clear picture for the topic of the track. Kanye brought the emotion(which he is almost alway a genius of). And Sean killed it probably the best way you can murk a track with this topic. Great collab. I don’t count the tracks that went on to MBDTF or Cruel Summer, but this is the best GOOD Friday’s track Ye released.

Too dope

Freshmen Year dam time flies

This is art. Please bring back GOOD Fridays.

Anyone know if the violin sample is from somewhere else? It sounds familiar...

All I can say is DAMN....

Life music

Sean massacred this man

big sean stole the show on this

This sound like some old Travis Scott shit....

@Thinker Haist This song came out in 2010...

+Rappatiligoe0419 2010 isn't really ye early stuff

@Lilly Pad Facts

@Lilly Pad I'm not saying this is Ye's early stuff. I'm saying that in Travis's early stuff he emulated Ye's sound at the time. Travis first started making music around the 2010s which is why his early stuff sounded a lot like the GOOD Friday songs and stuff off of MBDTF

Thinker Haist shut the fuck up

Lu killed it as usall

6 fucking years already, what the fuck! Life, slow down :(

Aizen Kazama and this comment was a year ago

and this comment was a month ago

Michael Cheslav this comment was from a month ago

and this comment was a week ago

Dralen November dam this comment was 3 months ago, crazy wild

kanye should make an album with lupe

@cfoBROOK. the game wasnt ready for that

The realest statement.

kanye lupe and cudi album would be the dopest

@giorgi khachvani The world isn't ready.....

The best time would’ve been 2006/7 with Neptune’s production

Don't look down...
it's an impossible view...
FLLLLY LIKE AN EAGLE!
in whatever you do....

this is a mad underrated song yo.

put da guns down and listen chi town stand up

Lupe is the GOAT.

what?! Nas is...you're out of your mind

That's actually arguable.

+happypaingwin Nas would say Rakim is. It just depends on when you grew up.

+Preem Clientele Right. Lupe has Tetsuo and Youth, The Cool, and Food and Liquor which are undeniable classics. I also like Food and Liquor 2 but it seems like a lot of people didn't like it as much. Nas has Stillmatic, Illmatic, and It Was Written. I also really like Distant Relatives and Lost Tapes, but once again their not mentioned a lot.

"if funerals are beautiful this ugly"

All I need from Kanye is  Swish, Watch the Throne 2, another G.O.O.D Music Album and a Kanye West Travis Scott album

Omg yes that would make my life, you're smart

We need a csr album!! Way over over due!

man hearing this, Kanye on his prime cuz he definately got the best part... makes one very sad about him now. knowing that such good music from wont exist ever again...

+Latis Lines swish?

Lupe breaks it down so awesome. he is BOSS, damn it!

The doctors said you have seven demons with seven demons. Need help getting rid of them.

I enjoy Lupe's verse. Very visual. Piques my imagination. The other verses are alright.

seans verse was better you could feel the emotion

Lupe & Big Sean's verses were 🔥 this track is a masterpiece

that was almost old kanye

What other song does kanye use this voice distortion? Where he is freestyling and you really cant tell what he is saying. I know its not Christian Dior denim flow. Please some1 help me

@braden colvin yee. It was never see me again

I don't think I like it when he does that

It's on runaway man

+Mario Deleon never see me again

Distorted in Gorgeous too

Classic !

so lupe's verse is kind of an icarus metaphor right?

+sean78745 yeah it borrows a lot from the myth, but has a less bitter end.

Lol woooowww...this is 5 years ago and Sean fucking merked it against a prime ye and lupe

Same drum bass line as cold as ice cyhi?

When i first heard this when it came out i had high hopes for big Sean after hearing him on this. Then he let me down.

Probably Big Sean's best verse. Boy needs to return to those Finally Famous flows

mwood341 no the fuck he doesn’t lmao

Kaleb Ward EXACTLY, lol!!! His rap style has evolved nicely

ZionAmariTV I’ve never been a Sean fan but he’s definitely better now then that wack shit he made lol

This was my track in fall 2010. Brought me through some of my best and worst times. I remember when Kanye was dropping tunes every week, then the film Runaway came out. Greatness.

Lupe verse is one of his best btw.

Lupe is always so deep. My #1 of all time

Ab Soul got a lotta influence from Lupe.

K-Will T.R.O.N

ImJuice225 he’s signed to TDE

Shit Kanye and Mos Def are usually great (especially together) but they got so outshined by Sean and Lupe on this one. 

Drunk and hot girls was bad though.

@Omotayo Rufai You kidding? I loved that track!

@Omotayo Rufai except it wasnt 

My baby so high !

I wanna punch kanye for fucking up this song..for going too overboard with the loud sound fx!!

🔥🔥LA FLAME🔥🔥

Anthem for everyone trying to keep their hands on the homerow !

really boring song

"I ask Y 'sometimes' like a fucking vowel" 
Wow!

Damn Big Sean stepped his game up on this track tho

I know pretty much every Kanye song, and this is one of his best.

two words is also one of his greatest 

@b145701s Yes you're right. That song is great.

Big Sean's Best Verse?

can Big Sean go back to his original dopness like this pleeeeze

That would be nice. Wonder if he had to "up" his skills on this project. He almost spit the best verse on this one.

Love it mAn!
